    Default Loose Left Control Cluster Fix?

    I have searched the forum and can't find the fix BRP came out with a year or so ago for the loose left control cluster most of us have on the 2010 and 2011 RT. Seems to me someone came up with a service bulletin or something with a repair part number that will fix this problem. Any ideas?

    Default Tightening..!!

    like bob said build up the diameter with tape or file the housing down some so it will tighten up. Check to see if the screws are to long and bottoming out...have seen that in which case shorter screws will fix it...

    Thanks but I believe I remember reading a post where BRP came out with a fix that did not require replacing the complete cluster, wrapping with tape, or filing . Hopefully someone will remember the post I've been searching for.

    Did you ask your dealer to search through all of the service bulletins? I would think that they would have easy access to all of the bulletins in one place.

    I think it required putting a thin piece of rubber between the housing and bar. I believe that's what they did to our 2010 RTS.

    Some had the cluster replaced under warranty.
